WHERE DO THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE OFTEN COME FROM? [1 of 2] Demons work with Satan and the Bible’s John 8 tells us the devil is the father of all lies, as well as murder. So, it's not a surprise at all that a non-Christian, who gets possessed by a demon, would have that foul spirit try to kill its host. When I was involved with the occult, I was not just demonically oppressed, but most likely multiply-possessed (from asking these entities to come inside me in hopes of receiving power). So, they obliged; setting up shop and commencing to drive me insane as their way of killing me. The goal of Satan and his demons is to trick each of us into staying away from Jesus, (which is the only way for us to get to heaven), as long as needed for us to take our last breath and end up in hell. And by the way, the types of distractions they throw at us can include getting involved in the occult. Anything is fine with them just as long as you don't go down that Jesus route; as long as you don't turn to Jesus on the cross, trusting in His work alone and asking Him to forgive your sins. Why do you think the ecumenical movement (the push for a one world religion) allows all beliefs except the biblical reality of confessing that Jesus is the ONLY way?
